Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 973 - 625: Tarnished Compassion Hidden in the Ultimate Happiness Land, Merit Golden Soup Refines Six Devils

Leaving Tang Country, led by "Golden Cicada," eighteen celestial Buddha's sons collectively made a grand vow, causing the origin of the Heavenly Dao to tremble uncontrollably, stirring up massive waves.

Especially since these eighteen Buddha's sons seemed earnest and sincere in their intentions, they immediately began to dedicate themselves wholeheartedly.

Indeed, they sacrificed their own flesh and blood, Buddha Qi and merit, to rescue the living beings within the Search God Realm.

Of course, it also amounted to "nursing" the Search God Realm.

Mouthful after mouthful, making the origin unwilling to settle down.

Such a world-shaking upheaval!

Even the gods and various Daoist lineages within the Search God Realm felt affronted.

"How audacious!"

"Ha, All Heavens Buddhism has a big appetite, are they planning to devour the entire Search God Realm?"

"Bald monks of the Buddhist Sect, do you intend to contend against all of us with just one sect's power?"

"Sounds good, but who doesn't know that All Heavens Buddhism never undertakes any loss-making business; investing this much from the start, naturally, they have a boundless appetite. Could it really be that they genuinely wish to save all living beings?"

"Eh? It's okay for the other Buddha's sons, but this Golden Cicada is someone who has cultivated the [Merit Golden Body], destined to become a Merit Buddha in the future, and is truly willing to sacrifice here?"

"This is great, I would love a bite of Holy Monk Meat."

...

Among the complex voices, some gods and demons were tempted.

They thought to take advantage of the situation since the All Heavens Buddhism threw out these eighteen delicious baits first, swallow them first before saying anything else.

Especially the contemporary Second Disciple of Buddha, Golden Cicada, whose golden cicada dharma body, fused with endless merit, was truly tantalizing.

His vow stated: eating a bite of flesh can bring longevity and undying.

This is indeed true.

If compared, even if exhaustively searching through Daoist, Buddhist, Demon, and Devil lineages, there is really only the Spirit Treasure Subduing Evil Tao Master that can compare in effectiveness to Golden Cicada's dharma body and flesh.

If one attempted to forcibly eat it, one would have to worry about being unable to defeat Golden Cicada. Now that the Buddha's son himself is willing to give up, who would still be polite?

For a moment, all major nations became restless.

A cold, murderous storm simultaneously enveloped the Buddha's sons.

At this moment, it was as if someone had come to support the eighteen Buddha's sons.

As the great vow was fully expressed, strange celestial phenomena frequently appeared.

Suddenly, within the realm of the Search God, thunderous sounds resonated again, followed by the projection of another great world forcibly crashing a portion into the realm.

The origin of this realm was the most terrifying.

One saw all-embracing Buddha Light replacing the brilliance of the celestial sun, revealing a corner of ten trillion Buddha Lands, seven layers of balustrades, seven layers of nets, seven layers of trees, all being four treasures, surrounding... the ground was golden. Day and night over six periods, heavenly flowers rained... Gentle breezes stirred the myriad treasures of trees and jeweled nets, producing exquisite sound, like a hundred thousand kinds of music, played simultaneously... Various manifestations, enough to reveal what this realm was.

It was precisely the base camp of All Heavens Buddhism, Western Heavenly Bliss Land.

Even though it was not the true body, but rather a crash-projection, it was sufficient to cause the origin of the Heavenly Dao of the Search God Realm to tremble incessantly.

Especially as the Buddha Light illuminated, celestial Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddha phantoms faintly appeared, descending. At the center, it was the supreme contemporary Buddha Venerable, making this scene thoroughly excite the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

What is a significant investment? This is it.

What is life's chance in front of you? This is it too.

Although the origin of the Heavenly Dao has not transformed into a living being, Tao Qian, through the perception of the Divination Worm, could still sense its inner trembling at this moment.

If it were alive, it would be eager to roar at all gods and demons, Daoist inheritors in this realm: Look at the strength of [All Heavens Buddhism], you foolish ones, why don't you quickly increase your investment, enter my Search God, for my people, any great wish can be fulfilled.

"Tsk, tsk!"

"Such a grand endeavor and scene, in the present circumstances, is enough to fool the nearly hopeless fool crippled."

"Speaking of taking advantage of others' dangers, bald monks still excel at it."

At this moment, while little demon Tao Qian was inwardly disparaging his opponent's despicable tactics.

The contemporary Buddha Venerable of All Heavens Buddhism, with eyes lowered, upon seeing the condition of living beings in this realm, sighed compassionately, then said:

"This realm has accumulated sins, naturally there should be a calamity of shattering."

"Yet what did the countless living beings of this realm do wrong? Since all disciples have a desire to heal the world, all the great vows they made are granted."

"But also remember, all great oaths are vows, and they are also tribulations. If they can be achieved, it is perfect; if not, no one could be blamed, but just offer up one's flesh and blood, Dao proficiency cultivation to the gods of this realm."

"Amitabha!"

"Our Buddha is compassionate!"

After such a dialogue, the impressive Western Heavenly Bliss Land projection suddenly dispersed.

Subsequently, countless god and demon avatars, clan descendants, and Daoist inheritors fell into frenzy.

The contemporary Buddha Venerable's words were clear enough.

Indeed, it's a special kind of war.

Unlike what was previously anticipated, if they could unite in this realm and kill all the Buddha's sons, eat them, All Heavens Buddhism would not seek revenge.

Despite most gods, demons, and Daoist inheritors not trusting such a promise.

But still, it's better than nothing.

Doesn't everyone have one strong backing or more, the master of All Heavens Buddhism is indeed extraordinarily powerful, but not truly invincible, and when it comes time to tear faces, this promise can be brought out for use.

...

These secret machinations, the Great Demon Tao couldn't care less about or had no time to care.

For at this moment, his mind was receiving a series of bizarre and terrifying images transferred by the Divination Worm. These images reflected a dreadful secret known to none but him, even the Heavenly Dao origin of the Search God Realm hadn't noticed it was being set up now.

One could see countless formless and substance-less Deceitful Objects madly surging into the Search God Realm along the minute crevice created by the collision of the Ultimate Happiness Land's projection.
